   Hi, Anton Shepelev!

    AS> The great Ambrose Bierce quotes the following in his definition   
    AS> of conscience:   
    AS> "Woes that defy the world's religions --   
    AS> The Spirit's brooding ills --   
    AS> We scatter, like a flock of pigeons,   
    AS>     With pills."   
    AS> I don't understand the comparison: how does one employ pills in   
    AS> scattering a flock of pigeons? Or is a handfull of small   
    AS> pebbles?   
      
   Pills also are balls for golf, billiards. You can scare away a flock of   
   pigeons with it.   
      
   Bye, Anton!
